Top Picks Challenge #326 and Reminder Post - Challenge #327 - Seasonal

Welcome to our two part post.

First, a reminder that you have until Friday, Nov. 1st at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #327 -Seasonal - found HERE.

Second, Challenge #326 closed with 25 fabulous mood board-inspired entries. In my view, this was a challenging mood board, but all of you who played along proved otherwise! From colours, to images, to the 'vibe': you showed cleverness and ingenuity in your approaches. Thank you! As usual, selecting top picks is a challenge when you're all so deserving of being highlighted.

Our Top Picks:

Nance

Nance's mushroom garden and gnome capture the colours of the mood board in a most charming, whimsical fashion. So cute!

Anke

Anke has certainly captured colours and images from the mood board with her beautiful Penny Black stamp; a lovely Autumn scene, indeed.

Trina

Trina has created a gorgeous vase of sunflowers; wouldn't you love to have this bouquet in real life? Fabulous take on the colours and image found on the mood board.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Challenge #327 - Seasonal

Welcome back to Inkspirational; thank you for joining us.

For the next two weeks, we invite you to draw inspiration from our SEASONAL-themed Challenge.

Here's a quick description of the challenge:

We invite you to consider the four seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter - and create cards/projects based on occasions + images that are quite 'specific' to those seasons.
For instance:

Spring: Mother's Day, Easter, flowers, etc.
Summer: summer vacations, school's out, weddings, beaches, Fourth of July, Canada Day, etc.
Fall: harvest, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Remembrance Day, etc.
Winter: Christmas, Hanukkah, winter activities.

These are just a few ideas to get you started; the team also has some fabulous inspiration for you.

Pia

Looking forward to seeing your SEASONAL cards/projects in the gallery.

The Link will be open until Friday, Nov. 1 @ 11:59pm (GMT)

We will be back on Saturday, Oct. 26th with a Reminder Post and Top Picks for Challenge #326.

Inkspirational Challenge #326 - Mood Board

Welcome to Inkspirational; we're delighted that you're joining us.

For the next two weeks, we have the mood board, below, as inspiration. Autumn hues mixed with pretty blues and teals, fall leaves, a sandy shore, pretty sunflowers, a butterfly, decorative threads, woodgrain, wisps of light, circles, squares...and so much more to spark ideas.

Reminder: please don't feel that you need to replicate photos from the mood board in their entirety. Rather, mood boards are created as 'inspiration,' offering multiple avenues for you to explore: colours, images, textures, designs, shapes, the 'vibe'...and that's just a start. One element or a combination of several: the options are plentiful. Let us know what caught your eye; we're excited to see your interpretations.
